In this special teaching, recorded before Mother's Day, Geshe Sonam Ngodup explains how we should see our mothers as more precious than a wish fulfilling jewel because of the kindness and care they show. Also, how we can extend this understanding and experience to encompass all sentient beings, with a mind of love and a wish to benefit them. Geshe la teaches in Tibetan and his teachings are translated by Venerable Khedrup.  

ཨ་མ་ཡོངས་རྫོགས་་ཡིད་བཞིན་གྱི་ནོར་བུ་ལས་ཀྱང་ལྷག་པ་མ་ཟད་སེམས་ཅན་ཐམད་ཅད་ཀྱང་དེ་ལས་ལྷག་པར་ལྟ་དགོས་ཚུལ། 

Not only are all mothers more precious than a wish-fulfilling jewel, but one should also see all sentient beings as more precious than a wish-fulfilling jewel ༄༅།།བློ་སྦྱོང་ཚིགས་བརྒྱད་མ། 

The Eight Verses of Mind Training (Lojong) བདག་ནི་སེམས་ཅན་ཐམས་ཅད་ལ།  

By thinking of all sentient beings ཡིད་བཞིན་ནོར་བུ་ལས་ལྷག་པའི།  

As more precious than a wish-fulfilling jewel དོན་མཆོག་སྒྲུབ་པའི་བསམ་པ་ཡིས། 

For accomplishing the highest aim,
